MTV has put production of its reality series 'Catfish' on hold as host and executive producer Nev Schulman faces allegations of sexual harassment.
MTV's production of the reality series 'Catfish' has been put on hold as Nev Schulman, co-host and executive producer since 2012, now faces sexual assault allegations.
Schulman has been accused of sexual misconduct and suspended, days after a woman posted videos online strongly intimating that he sexually harassed her during shooting of the show in 2015.
